Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
An information processor having a scheduling function, comprising: input means for inputting activation of the scheduling function and scheduling information; storing means for storing elementary item schedules; timing means for generating time and date information; detecting means for detecting a predetermined period based on the time and the date information generated by the timing means; display means for automatically displaying a list of the elementary item schedules stored by the storing means at every predetermined period detected by the detecting means; and selecting means for selecting a desired schedule from the list of the elementary item schedules displayed by the display means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
An information processor having a scheduling function, comprising: input means for inputting activation of the scheduling function and scheduling information; storing means for storing elementary item schedules; timing means for generating time and date information; detecting means for detecting a predetermined period based on the time and the date information generated by the timing means; display means for automatically displaying a list of the elementary item schedules stored by the storing means at every predetermined period detected by the detecting means; and selecting means for selecting a desired schedule from the list of the elementary item schedules displayed by the display means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
90 words
The information processor as defined in claim 1, further comprising: setting means for setting a specific day; comparing means for comparing with the specific day set by the setting means the date information generated by the timing means; and display control means for receiving, from the comparing means, a result of comparison in which the date information is coincident with the specific day, and for controlling the display means so that the list of the elementary item schedules stored by the storing means is displayed so as to be selected.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
66 words
The information processor as defined in claim 2, further comprising power switching means for turning ON and OFF a power source, wherein the display control means further has a function of controlling the display means so that the list of the elementary item schedules stored by the storing means is displayed so as to be selected in response to power-ON performed by the power switching means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
55 words
The information processor as defined in claim 2, wherein the display control means further has a function of controlling the display means so that the list of the elementary item schedules stored by the storing means is displayed so as to be selected in response to activation of the scheduling function by the input means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
79 words
The information processor as defined in claim 2, further comprising: temporary storing means for temporarily storing the elementary item schedules stored by the storing means; and deleting means for deleting an elementary item schedule selected by the selecting means from the temporary storing means, wherein the display control means further has a function of controlling the display means so that the list of elementary item schedules remaining in the temporary storing means is displayed so as to be selected.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
The information processor as defined in claim 5, wherein the deleting means further has a function of deleting, from the storing means, an elementary item schedule which has not been selected by the selecting means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
61 words
The information processor as defined in claim 2, wherein the display control means further has a function of controlling, on the display means so that an elementary item schedule which has not been selected by the selecting means is displayed on a first day of the same week as the set specific day, or a final day of the week before.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
The information processor as defined in claim 1, further comprising registering means for registering, in the storing means, an elementary item schedule selected by the selecting means.
